WinXP activation error at bootup after hotfix...

[ceez]

zup peeps,

I created a batch file to install all the hotfixes. I tried this on virtual PC.

On a fresh clean Virtual PC install of WinXP Pro w/SP1 I copied all the hotfixes to the harddrive and ran the batch file. It all goes well, once done with all the hotfixes I restart the PC (virtual PC). At the welcome screen I get the following error:

A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code: 0x80004005

The only option is [OK], then it takes me back to the welcome screen where I can select my username. If I click it i get the same error message...endless loop. I tried Last Known good config but no luck there either.

Anyone know why this would happen?

Also, the VM hotfix #Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe does not do a silent install. It prompts me to click ok to install and then it says that the PC needs to be restarted. I could prob move this to the last line of the batch file, but I am curious why.

This is my batch line for this fix:

ECHO 33 - Installing Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Hotfixes\Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe /Q:A /R:N

ECHO.

thkz for the input!
